Hi VSK,

Have not heard from you for quite a while.. How have you (& DS) been?

Thot we were talking about Year 1 Orientation, CCAs selection, RE Project etc, just yesterday.. And now, its the EOY exam.. :nailbite:

DS has been totally on his own now.. I can't help him in any ways, except to make sure that he is happy & healthy always.. He still spends a lot of time on FB and PC games.. Is it normal? :scratchhead:

All the Best to your DS in the EOY exam too! :rahrah:

Hi Firefly

Been very bz myself. I'm ok. Haven't got time to follow up at ksp. Yes, u r rite, time flies - EOY's juz next week. Hopefully ds will perform better than MYCT. He says he's very nervous abt the examz. I tried to give him some confidence, make him feel more comfortable and relaxed. Actually, it's not a bad thing your ds spends time on FB and PC games... at least he's not so tensed. I'm sure he already knows his stuff :boogie:

All the best to your ds too......! :rahrah:

Just to check. For the year 3 RA, can a student drop the RA anytime or must the student do the RA subject for at least a year.

I have the same qn too. My DS intends to take on 2 RAs. With boarding sch term next year and his 2 ccas plus 3rd language, and musical interests, I am a little worried abt his workload next yr. Being keenly interested in several pursuits doesn’t address the fact tt there are only 24 hrs in a day.

Also are all the ra equally good? I know some RAs are more popular like maths, phsyics and chem, wat abt the other subjects like history and geo.

I am sure all the RAs are of high stds. This yr the team which won the int'l geog Olympiad are RI boys. Math n sciences are popular as many boys are more inclined towards these fields rather than the humanities.

Before you apply for an RA, make sure you are passionate about the subject and are not doing it because it’s ‘prestigious’ or looks good on your portfolio. Also be sure you are able to commit to the additional workload. If you are passionate about the subject, RA will be a joy despite the additional workload. You will not even think of dropping it. Conversely, if you aren’t coping, the school will ask you to leave the RA programme, not you asking to be allowed to drop it.
